Baboon and Lion Cub - Sputnik International

An adventurous and surprisingly kind monkey in Kruger National Park in South Africa unknowingly recreated an opening scene from Disney’s all-time masterpiece The Lion King. Or maybe the primate really was completely aware of the reference when it did so?

According to safari guide Kurt Schultz, a lost lion cub was surrounded by baboons – but instead of attacking the little predator, one of the primates took the kitty up high into a marula tree and comforted it, holding the cub like Rafiki held baby Simba in the animated movie.

Watch the INCREDIBLE and never-before-seen moment a male baboon stole a lion cub and starts grooming it, while it is alive and healthy. This amazing sighting was seen while on a safari with @kurtsafarico yesterday on the S21 near Skukuza! It is almost like a scene right out of the Lion King. Watch the full video on our website!

All the while, other apes were standing beneath the tree, like animals in the "Circle of life" – but let's hope they were not very mean to their little prince afterwards.
